Error in query

I have a table with a column called 'result'. I get an error when I do a query on the column. e.g.

SQL> select avg(length(result)) from inspection; select avg(length(result)) from inspection

                  *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

I have searched the documentation and there doesn't seem to be any PL/SQL function called result. I'm curious to know why this is happening.

Thanks,
